What would you do to survive a collapse of civilization?

Recommended Posts

I would just keep following in Cameron Hanes footsteps like I am now.  Only I would not come back from the hunt, time to live in the forest for good.

Most of them probably wouldn't even be able to pull the trigger to defend themselves in a real world environment.  Hell, most of them probably don't even know how to load a fiream, or even how to disengage the safety for that matter.  And those that do would end up as casualties from self-inflicted wounds due to poor unloading technique prior to cleaning.

 

I'd love to see that, KOS'd by accidental discharge at themselves.

In all seriousness, it really depends on the level of the collapse of civilization. Of course, you all are probably referring to the "utter-and-total collapse of Western Society" that, in actuality, is almost impossible. Nations are so large, and there are so many of them, that they can (and would, international pissing contests nonwithstanding) "bolster each other", preventing a total collapse of society. For example, look at the level of response to the 9/11 attacks, or the Haiti/Japan disaster: pretty much the entire world stood up and held out a hand in a gigantic Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.
 

However, let us have a little fun with this

 

I have already made several posts about how a generalized "breakdown of society" would happen; pretty much three stages. 1) Collapse 2)Stabilization 3) Rebuilding 

in the event of a total collapse, the majority of Western nations would suffer a major population dieoff. After those months of starving, civilization would actually return slowly, but definitely not in fashion we would recognize. Technology would be diminished, with an estimated tech level similar to the 1700s (blackpowder firearms, sailing/steam ships, localized industry driven by water/steam, etc), with certain tech ranging up to the late 1800's (limited metallic cartridges, electricity production, telegraph communications, etc) AT BEST

First step is to leave the United States. Head up north and group up with isolated indigenous groups in Northern Canada/Alaska. They will likely be partly unaffected by whatever happened to cause civilization to collapse. They are likely less violent than whatever makeshift groups are being formed in the place of collapse.

Don't forget, everyone and their mother will be rushing to Canada/Alaska as fast as their starving feet will carry them. You are actually better off hiding, waiting out the "Great Northern Rush" and occupying then farming the territory left behind.

Some of the most well armed people in this country are extremely nationalistic and will not leave. I would take my chances up there!

I would love to be a prepper (within reason). Once I get a stable job and a permanent home for my family, I think it could be really exciting, beneficial, and fun to prep. Keeping my family safe is of great importance.

Because that site is now well known, perfect survival bunkerwith power water and food for years? Prime target for organized bandits.

If i had the money to do something like that you assume i would broadcast to the world? no no you missunderstood i would build something similar but in secret of course. i mean come on!

 

I would hire a set of contractors have them sign confidantiality agreement's and then once it was done they would mysteriously all die in accidents!

wich i ofcourse would have no hands in

 

uhm "coughs" yeah!
